Timid Waves

Timid Waves

Today I walked along the ocean's edge and breathed you in I felt your breath onmy skin as if you stood behind me whispering in my ear talking to me of love,and laughter, dancing in the sunlight Your touch brushed me with each timidwave that sparkled across my feet like something that in it's infancy wasfierce and longing but by the time it reached me had been subdued into a gentleclumsy grasping collecting pieces of the softly turned and tumbled glassoffered by the sea lost in my meandering dance, with steps too complicated toexplain seeking beauty and finding it in myself, in my thoughts, and in yourpresence echoes of your laughter lilted through the windy ocean breeze likedistant rumblings of a childish game of hide and seek I looked for you, andfound you nowhere, but knew you everywhere behind each tree as the wind playedit's symphony of sounds a chorus of my love for you in each violet breeze, ineach saphire wave lightly they touch the sand at my feet as if they aresearching searching for something but have not yet found it they rush in onlyto quickly flee implying that this is not the beach for them not the grain ofsand, or piece of life they were meant to break upon do they come to me fromwhere you are, over the miles, and the days only to see me, meet me, touch me,and then turn back towards you carrying with them my love, my longing, myaching loneliness for with the parting of each wave I feel less alone, lessabandonned and I know with each passing second that time is ticking it's waytowards me and you are somewhere riding this ribbon of eternity, looking for meas I sit here watching the endless ocean looking back at you over all the timeand all the miles seeing into the future and finding your smile awaits me inthe crashing waves washing my emptyness away and leaving me filled with halfforgotten memories and overflowing with love no longer burried in self pity andsolitude No more searching, no more wondering what my life is lived for I havebeen a tumbled piece of broken glass in the vastness of my own life but youhave been my ocean, calming me, turning me, softening me bringing out thebeauty in what was once just a plain piece of sharp green glass
